Is There An Electrician in the House?

Consider the notion that noone (including yourself) was in a position
to -say- if it was 100% "legitimate" as re any relevant concern ...
You omit relevant info (breaker spec, specs on the "two wires"), but,
in general, the little breakers are supposed to be co-specified for
a single circuit. Circuits are something thatcha kinda sorta -design-.

Perhaps he noted that the breaker appeared to be jerry-rigged and
decided he didn't wanna fool with such without a sizable premium.
Blow some smoke re lube, and he's outa there.
I can tell you this. If your house were for sale, I stopped by, and
noted, say, 12 15A romex cables going into the service panel and
only 8 (or less) corresponding breakers, I'd likely pass your
property by.
